Wedding at the Marie Selby Botanical Gardens: Michelle and Eric

March 30, 2010 – 5:29 pm

Intimate weddings are always a great mix of both emotion and romance with fun and celebration!  Michelle and Eric’s wedding was no exception.  They were married at the Schimmel Wedding Pavilion at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.  Karen of Karen’s Violins played the music and Flowers by Fudgie was the florist.  We are always fans of a birdcage veil and Michelle looked beautiful and classic in hers.  She also wore gorgeous and fun bright green heels and Eric matched with his green striped socks.  The officiant was Grace of A Wedding with Grace and she was wonderful.  The ceremony was so sweet and many of the guests were in tears as they felt the connection Michelle and Eric shared.  Congratulations to Michelle and Eric and we hope the joy of your wedding day only grows as years go on.

Kalyn and Daniel

October 24, 2008 – 10:48 am

Kalyn and Daniel were married at the Sirata last Saturday.  Dad was excited to see them again after having lots of fun at their engagement session.  When Dad arrived everyone was very upbeat and excited and dad knew it would be a great day. Darla Stafford did an amazing job on hair and make up (as usual) and it was great seeing Chad with Digital Wave Productions who was the couple’s videographer.

Kalyn’s beautiful smile:

Dad loved the detailing in Kalyn’s dress.  The ceremony was on the deck and though there was a bit of a concern about rain, it luckily held off.  Grace from A Wedding with Grace was the officiant and dad enjoyed working with her again!

After the ceremony the guests gathered on the beach for a big group shot.  While Daniel held dad’s camera for him, he took a couple self-portraits.  Daniel’s picture is actually one of mom’s favorites from the day!

Crazy family shots are always fun!

The reception music was by Dan from Sword Sounds. Believe it or not, this isn’t the first wedding dad has photographed where a hula hoop has made an appearance!

One of our favorite ring shots EVER!!!

Outside the Sirata at night:

Kalyn and Daniel were awesome!  We hope they have a terrific time in Aruba!

Melanie and Kurt at the Crosley

October 5, 2008 – 2:18 pm

Last Friday Melanie and Kurt were joined by their closest family members and friends at the Powel Crosley Estate in Sarasota where they celebrated their wedding.  Melanie is from the UK and dad thought the accent was awesome.  He didn’t sound as cool when he tried to copy it though.

Tammy Gamso did hair and makeup and Melanie looked absolutely beautiful.  Beneva Flowers put together bright gerber daisies for the floral arrangements which was perfect for a wedding at the beginning of fall. Grace from A Wedding with Grace was the officiant and dad hopes to work with her again soon. The ceremony was simple and sweet and had many of the guests in tears.  Mom thought this poem was very touching:

These I Can Promise

I cannot promise you a life of sunshine
I cannot promise you riches, wealth or gold
I cannot promise you an easy pathway
That leads away from change or growing old.

But I can promise you all my heart’s devotion;
a smile to chase away your tears of sorrow;
a love that’s ever true and ever growing;
a hand to hold in yours through each tomorrow.

The reception was catered by Simply Gourmet Caterers and the food looked yummy!  There was a lot of laughter, celebration, and love to start off Melanie and Kurt’s married life together.  Dad was grateful that he was there to share in the day.  Congratulations Melanie and Kurt!  You two are a wonderful couple and have very loving friends and family.

Here are a few pictures from the wedding:
